Use of Sub-Audible Tones
● Both CTCSS and DCS were designed to ignore other users on a radio frequency
● Think of them as electronic ear plugs● CTCSS is analog (a selection of tones, generally between 67
Hz and 255 Hz)● DCS is digital (one 134.4 Hz tone carrying 23 bits of data)● Most of the time, we only think in terms of transmitting tones● For repeaters, tone squelch on the input avoids false key-ups

How Does CTCSS Work?
● Encoding: A low frequency audio tone is transmitted simultaneously with voice
● Decoding: Receiver audio is muted until a carrier with the desired tone is received
![Page 8: Effectively Using the CTCSS and DCS Tone Capability of ......Jul 20, 2020 · a radio frequency Think of them as electronic ear plugs CTCSS is analog (a selection of tones, generally](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022011914/5fbb034d396b86022735673d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
20 July 2020 WA7PTM
How Does CTCSS Work?
● CTCSS decoding is implemented with a very narrow band pass filter set to the CTCSS range of tones
● The disadvantage of using tone squelch is that one cannot hear if the frequency is busy before transmitting, so could easily double with a QSO in progress
![Page 9: Effectively Using the CTCSS and DCS Tone Capability of ......Jul 20, 2020 · a radio frequency Think of them as electronic ear plugs CTCSS is analog (a selection of tones, generally](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022011914/5fbb034d396b86022735673d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

CTCSS History and “Standards”
● The use of sub-audible tones dates back to the 1950’s when Motorola used it in their tube-based radios
Motorola customers had the option of buying a "Vibrasender" (for encode) and a "Vibrasponder" (for decode)
![Page 10: Effectively Using the CTCSS and DCS Tone Capability of ......Jul 20, 2020 · a radio frequency Think of them as electronic ear plugs CTCSS is analog (a selection of tones, generally](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022011914/5fbb034d396b86022735673d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
20 July 2020 WA7PTM
CTCSS History and “Standards”
● The Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) released “Minimum Standards for Land Mobile Communication Continuous Tone-Controlled Squelch Systems (CTCSS)” in March 1979 as RS-220
● When the EIA went defunct in 2010, the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) assumed maintenance of the standard
● The latest release of the CTCSS standard was ANSI/TIA-603-E (March 2016) as part of the “Land Mobile FM or PM Communications Equipment Measurement and Performance Standards” document
![Page 11: Effectively Using the CTCSS and DCS Tone Capability of ......Jul 20, 2020 · a radio frequency Think of them as electronic ear plugs CTCSS is analog (a selection of tones, generally](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022011914/5fbb034d396b86022735673d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
20 July 2020 WA7PTM
CTCSS History and “Standards”
● There are other “standards”● One tone (150 Hz) is used by
armed forces in NATO countries, and does not typically appear in standards or tone charts, nor can it be set in amateur radios
![Page 12: Effectively Using the CTCSS and DCS Tone Capability of ......Jul 20, 2020 · a radio frequency Think of them as electronic ear plugs CTCSS is analog (a selection of tones, generally](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022011914/5fbb034d396b86022735673d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

How Many CTCSS TonesAre There?
Several “standard” tone sets exist, so you could have 32, 37, 38, 41, 42, 47, or 50 tones availableExamples:
10 – Motorola manual from November 195232 – Com-Spec 5-bit DIP switch (2002)38 – Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) standard RS-22039 – European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standard 103 236 (2014)

How Does DCS Work?
● Encoding: A low frequency bit stream is transmitted simultaneously with voice
● The stream consists of 23 repeating digits … 11 check bits, 3 signature bits (always 100) and 9 DCS code bits
![Page 17: Effectively Using the CTCSS and DCS Tone Capability of ......Jul 20, 2020 · a radio frequency Think of them as electronic ear plugs CTCSS is analog (a selection of tones, generally](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022011914/5fbb034d396b86022735673d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
20 July 2020 WA7PTM
How Does DCS Work?
● With 9 bits, DCS codes are always denoted in base 8 (octal)
● It can detect and correct errors of 3 or fewer bits, thus cutting down on the number of false key-ups
● This 23-bit word is known as a Golay (23,12) code

DCS History and “Standards”
● Incorporation of digital tones into the standards occurred after the introduction of “Digital Private Line” by Motorola
● The latest release of the DCS standard was ANSI/TIA-603-E (March 2016) as part of the “Land Mobile FM or PM Communications Equipment Measurement and Performance Standards” document

Tone and Tone Squelch Use in Emergency Communications
● Radio-only activations can be implemented when commercial communications infrastructure fails
● One or more subsets of all resources can be more easily activated

Tone and Tone Squelch Use in Emergency Communications
● Resources within the same radio coverage area can alert each other to incidents
● Radio is quiet until the specified tone is used to unlock the receiver
![Page 24: Effectively Using the CTCSS and DCS Tone Capability of ......Jul 20, 2020 · a radio frequency Think of them as electronic ear plugs CTCSS is analog (a selection of tones, generally](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022011914/5fbb034d396b86022735673d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
20 July 2020 WA7PTM
Care Should be Taken in the Selection of Tones
● CTCSS-enabled radios are more common than DCS-enabled radios
● Need to make sure all radios have the same tone squelch capability
● Each activation area should use a different tone● Certain “valid” tones should be avoided
![Page 25: Effectively Using the CTCSS and DCS Tone Capability of ......Jul 20, 2020 · a radio frequency Think of them as electronic ear plugs CTCSS is analog (a selection of tones, generally](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022011914/5fbb034d396b86022735673d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Care Should be Taken in the Selection of Tones
Tones to avoid:● 58.8 Hz, 62.5 Hz, 63.0 Hz – close to 60 Hz AC line current● 118.8 Hz, 123.0 Hz – close to the first harmonic of 60 Hz AC
line current● 131.8 Hz, 136.5 Hz – close to the DCS signaling frequency● 179.9 Hz – close to the third harmonic of 60 Hz AC line current● 241.8 Hz – close to the fourth harmonic of 60 Hz AC line

Concept
A Radio-Based Alert System for Clark County ARES/RACES:
● Use CLRK 2A as the radio alert method for the organization● Use each Team’s VHF channel (with a CTCSS tone) as the
radio alert method for that team● Members leave radios on 24x7 with tone squelch enabled
The radio (or an extension speaker) need to be in the sleeping area
● To activate members, transmit using the alternate tone
![Page 27: Effectively Using the CTCSS and DCS Tone Capability of ......Jul 20, 2020 · a radio frequency Think of them as electronic ear plugs CTCSS is analog (a selection of tones, generally](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022011914/5fbb034d396b86022735673d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
20 July 2020 WA7PTM
Radio Programming
● All members should ensure that CLRK 1A, CLRK 2A, and CLRK 3A are programmed into their radio(s)
● All team CTCSS tones should be unique and recorded on the Handi-Card
● All members should program their team VHF frequency twice, one memory channel set with no CTCSS tone and a second memory with the Team CTCSS tone and tone squelch enabled

Radio Protocols
● When not listening to active conversations on their radio, members should tune to CLRK 2A and leave their radio on 24x7
● If a second band can be monitored simultaneously (dual-band radio or second radio), members should tune to their team VHF frequency on the second memory that has tone squelch enabled
● Before transmitting with an alternate tone, members should look at their S-Meter, or temporarily switch off the alternate tone, to ensure another conversation is not already in progress on that frequency

20 July 2020 WA7PTM
Tone Squelch Practice
● Each team should train and practice using tone squelch on their team’s VHF channel
● The organization should train on the use of tone squelch and practice these techniques on at least one exercise each year
Note: The 5th Saturday Exercise on August 29th is designed around practicing tone squelch use
